High School Musical 2

Photos taken at Disneyland Los Angeles.  The journalling tells how we had the unexpected surprise of the premier of the film High School Musical 2 taking place at Disneyland whilst we were there with the cast party being at our hotel.

Layout was one of mine but done at scrap camp for the UKS weekly challenge using an old back porch memories kit.

Becky in Alcatraz

Photo taken whilst visiting Alcatraz in San Francisco.  Becky doesn't look too impressed does she!!

Used Scrapagogo September kit - one of my all time favourites.

Sunset over the Pacific

Photo taken on our drive down the Pacific Coast Highway.

Not sure what the paper is but the ribbon and blossoms were from Little Silver Hat Kit.

May Scrapagogo

I haven't got round to posting my last few layouts for a while.  All of them were done using the May scrapagogo kit. This one uses some older photos - I started it for the monthly scrapagogo challenge which had to feature your favourite food.  I didn't finish it in time for the challenge but it did mean a few old photos got scrapped.

  I took the photo for this one on my new phone sat in a cafe in Nantes last month.  I thought the rub -on went well with the picture.  The chipboard flowers were painted in white and then a touch of colour added to the edges before covering with glossy accents. I used some doodlebug white paper frills round the photo matting just to add a bit more emphasis to the photo.

Finally some more photos from our trip to Paris at Easter.  This time I tried the matte version of glossy accents on the chipboard - worth a try but I prefer the glossy look.  As for the cadbury lo I used some maya road chipboard letters covered in papers and sanded round the edges.

K & J

I started this layout using my April scrapagogo kit at the monthly crop in May but really wasn't happy with it so ended up starting again and finally finished it a couple of weeks later.  The photo was taken by one of Katherines friends when they were in Lanzarotte - a great fun photo.

This layout is different to my norm..no patterned paper in sight and lots of doodling...with the help of a stencil of course.  This is the 5th lo I have got from this months scrapagogo kit plus my cj entry...a record for me I think and still enough left for one or two more.

SSF Crop

Ok a bit of catching up to do.  On the 12th May I went to Croydon to meet up with some of my UKS team the Secret Stash Faeries.  I had a great weekend - so nice to put faces, personalities and voices to people I have been 'chatting' to for over a year.  I have now met 7/9 of the team but as the other 2 are in NZ that could be a bit trickier.  We had the crop on Saturday and then the Faeries went out for a meal in the evening.  On Sunday I went shopping with Pauline, Jane, Debs and Nicky and then had trouble packing!

Anyway here are the layouts I managed to do at the crop.

This one was all my own work using a scrap room kit.

 

And this one was based on a class kit from Sarah.

Cybercrop

Last weekend was the UKS Mad Hatters cybercrop.

I didn't really get a chance to join in with much of the pre crop fun but I managed to do a whole load of lo's during the weekend.

The first used a doyly as a mask with a paint dauber.  I wasn't sure what photos to use with the black and white but found some older photos of this trophy Katherine won a couple of years ago and decided it was time to use these on a lo.  I used a few leftover bits from Januarys scrapagogo kit..the lovely crate paper one.

The next class was using decorative scissors and other ways of getting decorative edges.  I found my little used scissors and did a little bit with them but then used some doodlebug paper strips instead of cutting other bits out.  As I had 3 pictures of the topic I decided to turn it into a dlo.  All the papers, alpha and embellies were from my April scrapagogo kit.

The next class was to use some old papers up and so I found out some basic grey papers I have had a while.  The class used one big photo but as I had a load of 6x4's printed from our Easter Trip to France I decided to put 2 of the together and turn the lo round.  Loved the way the title was done using bits of pizza box..have a few of them lying around and then cover with papers.

This was a very quick lo - the challenge was to find a partner and both use the same photo and each others quotes.  Deadline for uploading was 12.00 and I only started looking for a partner at 11.15 but both me and Jemm managed to complete the challenge which was worth loads of points.  It did take as long to upload to UKS as to do the lo though lol.

I think this was the next one I did and this was almost an exact copy of the class.  I love using cut out flowers and the 'tazzy' title was done with some new banana frog stamps that just happened to fall in the basket whilst ordering the papers!

The picture is of tazzy's first trip into the garden on her lead so we didn't lose her!

This lo was one of the challenges - Cheshire Cat which just required the use of a photo with a big grin!  I really like the way this one turned out and is probably my favourite of the weekend - partly because it was all my own idea and I didn't have a class to follow.  For some reason the paper just lent itself to being cut this way.  The photo is when we had just got Tazzy and she was only 6 weeks old..aarrhh.

This was one of Shimelles class and the idea was to use a really big picture.  This was one of my favourite pictures of our Easter Trip so decided it was a good candidate to make it really big.  Another lo using Aprils scrapagogo kit - fantastic kit.

   

My final lo again using the same kit has a spelling mistake (I have corrected it on the lo) but I was in a bit of a hurry to finish it!

All in all a great weekend of scrapping.  If only I could do that many lo's every week!

PS I have realised I must have done the St Ouens lo later in the crop as I did that after Shimelles class - hence the idea to use a big photo!  But can't be bothered to change the post!
